Chapter 69 -69: Both Poor and Lowly
Tang Yu thought, it really was about this matter.
She cautiously glanced at Ye Sihan’s expression and retorted, “I didn’t…”
“Didn’t? The photograph was taken very clearly, is that not you?” Luo Bingbing asked.
Tang Yu saw the photographs by the side of the food on the table—it was the same ones Lin Shuhuan had shown her during the day.
“Just because I had a meal and he gave me a ride home on his way, you all make it sound like this?” Tang Yu argued, unconvinced. “When you dine with men, does it amount to flirting? If a classmate gives me a ride home, at best it’s gentlemanly behavior. What does that represent?”
Zhou Qinghua sneered coldly. “Tang Yu, that was Meng Jilin, our former high school class president, right?”
Tang Yu remained silent.
They had all been classmates, so it wasn’t strange that Zhou Qinghua knew of Meng Jilin; the question just carried an annoying tone.
“I clearly remember that Meng Jilin had a crush on you back then.”
Tang Yu’s face instantly turned ugly. “What nonsense are you spouting? I hardly had any contact with Meng Jilin; we barely even spoke to each other.”
“Barely spoke a few words and you agreed to have a meal together? And he even gave you a ride home?” Zhou Qinghua turned to the quiet but imposing Ye Sihan, “Big Brother Ye, back in school, Meng Jilin had a secret crush on Tang Yu.”
Ye Sihan’s cold and probing gaze shot towards Tang Yu.
“Zhou Qinghua, don’t spout nonsense!” Tang Yu became anxious. “Do you have any proof? Just a few photos and you conjure up so much?”
“Didn’t Meng Jilin often ask you to let him copy your homework?” Zhou Qinghua inquired.
Tang Yu was choked up and said nothing, but such a fact made her dare not utter a sound.
“He was a class president with excellent grades, asking you to let him copy homework? Couldn’t he do it himself? Back then, all the girls in the class could see that Meng Jilin was secretly in love with you!” Zhou Qinghua argued convincingly.
Tang Yu was stunned and frantically denied, “That’s… that’s not true!”
“You knew Meng Jilin was interested in you and yet acted unaware, isn’t that leading him on? So that’s why the girls in our class all hated you, poor and lowly, wanting to marry into a rich family.” Zhou Qinghua grew angrier as she spoke.
She wished she could go up and slap Tang Yu to relieve her anger.
In anxiety, Tang Yu looked towards the silent but intimidating Ye Sihan, “That’s not true, Zhou Qinghua is framing me! Meng Jilin copied my homework because he didn’t have his own done and there wasn’t enough time, so he copied mine.”
“Then why didn’t he copy someone else’s?” Luo Bingbing asked.
“How would I know?” Tang Yu replied, exasperated. “If it makes you happy, go ask him yourself!”
“Shut up!” Ye Sihan’s voice sank with a cold tone, and the oppressive atmosphere in the private room reached its peak.
Making everyone else afraid to even breathe heavily.
Lin Shuhuan, a bit intimidated, picked up the coffee before her and took a sip.
Ye Sihan’s dark gaze swept over to Tang Yu, who was standing. Tang Yu felt a chill and instinctively took a step back, not daring to meet his eyes.
Then Ye Sihan stood up, reached out to grab her chin with a hand cold enough to seep into one’s bones, “Did you or did you not?”
“I didn’t, please believe me,” Tang Yu’s heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
Ye Sihan stared at her, his eyes dark and ruthless. After a moment, he said, “Aunt Lin, I’ll be leaving first.” Having said that, he let go of Tang Yu and headed for the door of the private room.
Luo Bingbing really wanted to follow, but didn’t dare and could only hold it in.
Tang Yu stood there, feeling the fierce energy of Ye Sihan passing by, and her heart tightened.
After Ye Sihan went out, she hesitated for only a second before steeling herself and following him out.
“Mr. Ye, don’t listen to their nonsense, there’s nothing like that at all. Meng Jilin and I are just old classmates with a pure relationship… Ah!” As Tang Yu was speaking, the figure in front stopped, and a large hand reached out to grab her collar.
The next second, a strong force violently tossed her into the car—
“Ah!” Tang Yu fell onto the seat, dazed by the impact.
By the time she sat up, the car had already left the Cloud Club.
Ye Sihan sitting opposite her made her wary and anxious, “I was just having a meal with a friend, is that not allowed?”
After these words were spoken, the chill emanating from Ye Sihan’s body grew even more oppressive, his dark eyes as cold and sharp as a frozen pool.
“It’s not even Ye Yuli. Can’t I have contact with other men without… Ah!” Tang Yu hadn’t finished speaking when a shadow loomed over her, her jaw tightly seized.
The man looking down on her was like a devil.
“Any man is out of the question!”
Tang Yu’s heart was shaken by his terrifying possessiveness, her breaths coming in unstable gasps, “Actually, I already have you, there won’t be anything with anyone else…”
“Hmm?” Ye Sihan’s black pupils became even more dangerous and coercive.
“I got it, I got it, I’ll steer clear of men from now on,” Tang Yu quickly agreed.
She absolutely couldn’t touch Ye Sihan’s reverse scale again.
Ye Sihan lifted a finger to caress, brush past her tender, soft lips, “Is that all?”
“What… do you mean?” 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
“You’re clueless, he should understand.” Ye Sihan’s eyes gleamed with a ruthless light.
Tang Yu was first confused, then panicked, “You… you’re not going to target Meng Jilin, are you? Don’t do that, I had dinner with him just to thank him for helping me with my wound earlier, we’re just old classmates…”
Ye Sihan could punish her, but she couldn’t harm Meng Jilin!
“You’re pleading for him, huh?” There wasn’t a trace of warmth in Ye Sihan’s eyes.
“No, I just don’t want to owe him.” With urgency, Tang Yu’s hands wrapped around Ye Sihan’s, which were pinching her jaw, her pleading voice pitiful, “You can ask me to do anything, even if it’s in the car… Is that okay?”
Ye Sihan’s unfathomable black eyes fixed on her, the enclosed space of the car becoming extremely oppressive for a moment, his thin lips parting slightly, “Strip naked.” Then he sat back in his seat, cold eyes watching intently.
Tang Yu bit her lip and with only a moment’s hesitation, began to undress.
First was her top, and when it came to her underwear, her face flushed with discomfort, yet she bit her lip and endured the shame, removing it anyway.
Then her trousers, her stomach exposed in front of Ye Sihan for the first time.
Finally, she pulled everything off, leaving nothing concealed, her clothes piled to one side.
The light inside the car was dim at first, but the next second, all the lights came on, shining on her bare body like a spotlight.
Tang Yu shrank back like a startled deer, her lips biting uncomfortably, her hands not daring to cover herself, her body more strikingly pale against the black leather seats.
And Ye Sihan, like an emperor with a commanding gaze, scrutinized her, then spoke after a moment, “Come here.”
Tang Yu rose slightly, moving toward him.
She intended to sit on the seat closest to Ye Sihan, but her wrist was suddenly caught, and she was pulled onto him—
“Ah!” Tang Yu’s pale body ended up on Ye Sihan’s lap.
The roughness of his suit pants rubbed against her delicate skin, causing her skin to tremble uneasily.
With not a stitch on, Tang Yu sat on Ye Sihan, whose clothes remained impeccable, creating a stark sense of inequity and impact.
She was like an artwork under the gaze of those hawk-like black eyes.
In a precarious and fragile situation.
“What’s this?” Ye Sihan’s fingers slid over her white, smooth skin, coming to rest on her flat belly.
With great effort, Tang Yu managed not to tremble violently from fear, “What… what is it…”
Had Ye Sihan discovered a hidden scar from the removal of a knife wound?
Looking down, she realized that where Ye Sihan’s finger had landed was not in the center, but off to the side.
That was where… the stretch marks from pregnancy were.
